The EmbedVideo Extension is a MediaWiki extension which adds parser functions called #ev and #evp for embedding video clips from popular video sharing services.

Usage

The EmbedVideo parser function expects to be called in any of the following ways:

• {{#ev:service|id}}
• {{#ev:service|id|width}}
• {{#ev:service|id|width|align}}
• {{#ev:service|id|width|align|desc}}
• {{#evp:service|id|desc}}
• {{#evp:service|id|desc|align}}
• {{#evp:service|id|desc|align|width}}

Where:

• service is the name of a video sharing service (See "service name" in the list below)
• id is the id of the video to include
• width (optional) is the width in pixels of the viewing area (height will be determined automatically)
• align (optional) is an alignment (float) attribute. May be "left" or "right".
• desc (optional) is a short description to display beneath the video when it is aligned

Examples

A video of this URL:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9u_BJXRyuI

Would end up like this with the EmbedVideo plugin:

{{#ev:youtube|R9u_BJXRyuI}}

It could be further modified by reducing it's size, aligning it, etc etc, as outlined above. That video at 100px wide, left alignment, and a description, would be like so:

{{#ev:youtube|R9u_BJXRyuI|100|left|super smash bros brawl in 3d dolphin emulator}}
